SCTigerCock 171 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Has anyone been sucessful having satilite reception in the 300 loop? We use Direct TV if it matters.If not, going to leave the satilite dish home to make room for brew.I wish the Fort had Speed, then I woudldn't even worry about the dish.

doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I was in the 300 loop last February, Genia. We were on site 340. We had great reception with our Direct TV but there were no leaves on the trees at that time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCTigerCock 171 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 OK, thanks for the info. Wonder if the leaves matter? :flush2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Discamper 394 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 If you get luck and are on the back side by the road you may be ok but other than that you will not get a signal Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brent... Just Brent 83 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I swear I passed the speed channel last week when I was flipping around, but I don't see it on their list, so maybe I had just been in the beer.Also, the cable at Fort Wilderness has changed since I was there in June. Either it's different on the partials vs premiums or the whole place switched over to DirecTV. I know AKL had it in the past, but I've never seen it like that at the Fort. Maybe someone can correct me? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stefa70 205 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 So you never watch a race at the Fort? Never?!Always. But you need not worry, I will be home by 1:00 to see Dover race on ESPN on Sept. 30th. :nahnah: I don't do Raceday when I'm camping, race only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCTigerCock 171 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thanks, to almost everyone, for your responses.I'll leave the satilite dish at the house and plan to catch the NH race on the 23rd somehow. This will allow me some more storage area for other necessities. This will be our longest trip with Savannah, so getting a little concernced about storage space for a week long trip. :clint: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TnBob 311 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I coulda swore I saw dunbass Darrel on Speed one of the days the kids let me see the TV, but I could be wrong. The new lineup is Direct TV driven and has TBS and TNT now along with a bunch of other channels and HD channels (what ever HD is) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lil Lisa 53 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 We got a signal with our DirecTV when we were on 329. It was all pixie dust though. The spot we needed to aim happened to be between two trees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lil Lisa 53 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Whoops! It was 328. Don't blame me... I've slept since then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brent... Just Brent 83 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 The thing about it being DirecTV driven is that when it was raining hard, the picture pixelated. And sometimes when it wasn't raining. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 This is just for you Genia.I knew you wanted The Speed Channel, so I used my influence and you'll have it, maybe.It's temporary though.Ok, here's the truth.Due to a dispute with DirectTV and Viacom, certain channels will be temporarily unavailable and replaced with others until the dispute is resolved.The Speed channel is one of the temporary replacements. mouseketab.....Carol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCTigerCock 171 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Ahhhhh Lou, you are just the......just the.....best? :rofl2: :flush2:I just learned our tickets will have the water park and more options, so we will probably not have time to watch Speed. Or maybe the race on the 23rd. And we will be traveling home on the 30th. Oh well, tuff life to pay to be at WDW and the Fort. :batman: :clint: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I just learned our tickets will have the water park and more options,I know that this will put a damper on your water park plans, but glass bottles are not allowed in the water parks. mouseketab.....Carol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
